Spelling of His Name

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move the page from Pridi Phanomyong to "Pridi Banomyong" at this time, per the discussion below, although new evidence could be used to show that the page should be moved. Dekimasuよ! 12:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

The correct spelling of his name should follow the official spelling given by many of the institutions that adopted his name in his commemoration, or that recognized him on different occasions. The conclusion is that his last name should be spelled as Banomyong. Below is a short list of such institutions:

• Pridi Banomyong Library of Thammasat University of which he was the founding father
• UNESCO official website in which Pridi Phanomyong's name was included in the calendar of Anniversaries of Great Personalities and Historic Events Calendar
• Pridi Banomyong Institute + Pridi Banomyong Foundation

Therefore, I urge that the spelling of his last name, here and in other related links, be changed in accordance with the above traditions.

Oppose for now. Needs to be based on how he is best known in English. I'll listen to any arguments along that line. Gene Nygaard 16:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Pridi Phanomyong → Pridi Banomyong — As per the above discussion, the preferred spelling can easily be demonstrated via a Google test (247,000 results for "Pridi Banomyong" vs 7,540 for "Pridi Phanomyong"). Sources such as A History of Thailand by Chris Baker and Phasuk Phongpaichit also follow this spelling. — Paul_012 ^(talk) 20:53, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Japan DID invade Thailand

A Slice of Thai History: The Japanese invasion of Thailand 8 December 1941 (part two) by Duncan Stearn. For part one, change 505 in the URL to 504, and to 506 for part 3. Meanwhile, I'm reverting the last change. --Pawyilee (talk) 07:38, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Pejorative language

There is a shocking level of unsupported pejorative language in here. In several places, "violent" is used, where no violence actually occurred, as with Pridi's voluntary exile after his proposed economic policy. The phrase "double-dealing" for Pridi's wartime activities is highly prejudicial, and entirely unexplained. An examination of the literature on Pridi's role during WWII does not support that phrase, unless one somehow interprets working for the underground resistance and as regent at the same time as "double-dealing". Surely we wouldn't see such phrasing for someone working for the French government and the French underground resistance, so I'm not sure why it is allowed here, without explanation. I could spell out more cases, but it isn't difficult to find the pejorative language, Pridi's enemies shouldn't be allowed to bias the article through the use of such language without support, justification, explanation, or evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.89.190.251 (talk) 15:08, 30 January 2017 (UTC) Added: It baffles me that anyone would refer to the discredited and incoherent book by William Stevenson to make any point at all.

Those appear to be the result of edits by 110.164.169.200 from October 2016. I've reverted the edits, but some of the content might warrant inclusion if properly worded and sourced. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:17, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
